This one will probably be more of a good chat and motivational thread, rather than a competition (no teams). Knowing me I wont lose any weight either, but I will try..

Aaaaaaaaaaaah, I REALLY need to get back to the gym. I have lifted weights for years (since 1993), but have always just done it 6 months out of the year and even then I just muster 2 times per week. But for the first 5 years or so I was pretty into it and its amazing how your muscle stays around after that even if you dont do much anymore. When I was more into it it really managed my weight so well. I could eat a lot for my size and stay generally fit and always toned looking from the weights. Now I have an elliptical machine in my home, and a daughter, so I dont lift much anymore.. I know you lift competitively, but dont you find it paying off for weight loss? Do you do cardio as well?
 
Blancita, I do some cardio including some jogging (treadmill and cross country), plenty of time in the stairmaster and erg. I would like to get back into doing more classes again, either instructing or participating but due to my youngest sons limited school hours it just isn't possible at the moment.

my weight isn't moving but my bodyfat % and measurements are changeing slowly over time but being short i just look solid.

I have spent most of this afternoon fixing a couple of internal doors at home, one needed to be sanded down to fit a little better but the other has required me to fix the mortises. the doors were put on in haste when we built the house so this job was long over due but now i have bloody dust everywhere.
 
I wish I could do real HIT training. I know my body could do it but my darn mind keeps telling me I am tired and to go slower lol.

At least you got your door fixed finally! better late then never :p

Asked my coach about cardio and i should be restricting myself to walking, no high impact or HIT training so I am going to need to tighten my food intake a little more to compensate for less cardio. On the good side I have adapted to the form changes and things are looking good for an improved max lift at the Nationals.
 
WoW some skull crushers....I like these lil things they make me smile, like the drinks that are called, what? "sex on the beach, and fuzzy navel...hahaha

Thanks for poppin in on my diary Trusylver , I just thought I'd stick my head in here, and Wave Hello!! :seeya:
